National Educational Technology StandardsThe ARCS Motivational Model explained why digital media can motivate students. In order to develop digital age learners, there are standards that teachers must follow. As technology advances, students will be expected to know basic technology skills. This page highlights the NET-S (National Educational Technology Standards for Students). Creativity and Innovation- students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. llllllllllllllStudents:Apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes Create original works as a means of personal or group expressionUse models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues Identify trends and forecast possibilities aaaa Communication and Collaboration- students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students:Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments Communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats Develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures Contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problemsaaaaaa Research and Informational Fluency- students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information aaa Students:Plan strategies to guide inquiry Locate, organize, analyze, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and mediaEvaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasksProcess data and report results
Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making- students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Students:Identify and define authentic problems and significant questions for investigationPlan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a projectCollect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisionsUse multiple processes and diverse perspectives to explore alternative solutions aaaaa Digital Citizenship- students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. aaaaa Students:Advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technologyExhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivityDemonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learningExhibit leadership for digital citizenship aaaaa Technology Operations and Concepts- students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. aaaaStudents:Understand and use technology systemsSelect and use applications effectively and productivelyTroubleshoot systems and applicationsTranfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies(International Society for Technology in Education, 2011)aaaaaaaAddtional Resouces:http://www.iste.org/standards.aspxhttp://www.iste.org/standards/nets-for-students.aspx
